Biography
Husein Bilal Bosnic was born in 1972 in Buzim, northwest Bosnia, then a part of Yugoslavia. After joining the Salafist movement while living in Germany, he returned to Bosnia in 1992 to fight in the Bosnian War against Serbia. He became leader of Bosnian Salafists after the death of Jusuf Barcic in a car crash in 2011, and that same year, he made controversial statements including a hope for the United States to be destroyed to its foundations, praising "beautiful jihad" that was raised over Bosnia, and saying that with explosives on their chests, the jihadists paved the way to paradise. In February 2013 he called for Croats and Serbs to pay a religious tax in Bosnia, and he gained the attention of the government for marrying four women. In August 2014, he called for young men to join the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and on 3 September 2014 he was arrested by Bosnia and Herzegovina for advocating terrorism.
